Deployment Solution

on the Main blue PXE boot screen that you can choose what automation OS to boot into, is there a way to create links to automated jobs?

Say I create a job that basically distributes an image, updates the name of the PC, adds it to the domain and correct OU, and then restarts the PC. Is there a way to make a selection on the PXE boot screen to just do that job?

this way I could boot the PC from the network, get that screen, and choose say option 10, which will then tell it to boot into linux, start downloading the image etc etc.. never having to go to the console and deploy the job to the PC.

Of course this is worthless for PCs already in the DS computerlist, as I could just give the PC the job and it would start automatically. It is more for when I would be out on the computer floor working on an issue, and i realize its software, so i just want to re-image it, i could do it that way instead.


Thanks!

I think what you are looking for is the "initial deployment". It is located under the "jobs" pane. Right-click on it and go to properties. Then click on the "jobs" tab. You can then put Specific jobs in there. Each specific job would show up as a menu item once you boot into an automation partition (provided the machine has not been in DS yet).
